Hyperlocal Tokyo

**[Entered with a 0-year-old]** The shop was quiet, and my daughter's cries echoed. It's a bit of a shame for a place with children. The staff were very welcoming. It was past lunchtime, but I asked if they could make a sandwich for me. The sandwich was delicious, and the set coffee was truly a coffee shop's coffee, with a deep flavor. This time I had iced coffee, but I'd like to try the hot coffee next time it gets cooler.

I visited "Takaku," a coffee shop located at the intersection of Amazake Yokocho in Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. I had the Brazilian charcoal-roasted coffee of the day and a hot sandwich (egg) for 780 yen. I arrived around 4 pm, and while there were both table and counter seats, the tables were almost full. The Brazilian coffee had a good balance of acidity, bitterness, and richness, enhanced by the fragrant aroma of charcoal roasting. The hot sandwich was delicious, with fresh lettuce, ham, and egg, all nestled in perfectly toasted bread. The atmosphere was calm and comfortable, with an antique-style interior and tableware. It was a delightful experience. Thank you for the meal.

I enjoyed the yuzu tea, Mont Blanc, and gateau chocolat. Even though it was the afternoon, the shop was almost full and bustling. The staff were very attentive and gave a polite impression. The yuzu tea had a good balance of sweetness and acidity, with a lovely aroma. It warmed me up nicely. The Mont Blanc had a paste that wasn't overly sweet, and the sponge cake was also subtly sweet, making it easy to eat. The gateau chocolat was slightly larger than the Mont Blanc, leaving me feeling satisfied. The shop has an old-fashioned feel, but it's clean and tidy. They only accept cash for payment.

Whenever I need a break in Ningyocho, I always come here. The coffee and food are delicious and the prices are reasonable. This time I ordered the hot sandwich set. You can choose two types of hot sandwiches from the menu, and there are many options, including savory ones like ham and egg tuna, and sweet ones like desserts. The photo shows ham and egg. The bread is very delicious, chewy and crispy, and the filling is just the right amount, not too much and not too little. The coffee is also delicious, you can tell it was made with care. The staff are also very polite and kind. I can confidently recommend this cafe. *Note: The hot sandwich in the photo is half eaten, so it actually comes with four slices!

A coffee shop where you can choose from a variety of beans. If you have the luxury of choosing a coffee shop in the city center, you want to be able to choose your beans, so I visited this place. Blue Mountain is expensive, but the other options are decent. The main price range is around 700 to 800 yen. The coffee is delicious, of course, but the chairs and tables are quite old. The tables are quite low. I wanted to relax a bit, but there were quite a few customers. With only four counter seats and eight table seats, and its location, it's a place that gets crowded, so I left early. It was a place with a diverse range of customers.
